Hand against Toto Leonidas

[Defendant]

I posted I was on the button.

So, heres the rest of the hand.

I was seriously considering just folding it, staring him down. I came to the conclusion he was restealing.
























And pushed all in.

After a LONG time of thought he called...and flipped over A9, he had put me on a total steal and called with ace high.

In retrospect, I think I played the hand correctly, but overconfident. By calling his reraise I put the pressure on my read and trusted myself to be able to outplay him after the flop. I know this isnt textbook poker, but I believe it to be a powerful play in the situation.

Turns out I did outplay him and doubled up.
